For voice mail service subscribers
To receive voice mail and use answering
system properly, please note the
following:
L To use the voice mail service (page
29) provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the
unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 23).
L To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company, please contact
your service provider/telephone
company to deactivate your voice mail
service.
If your service provider/telephone
company cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Number of
Rings” setting so that this unit’s
answering system answers calls
before the voice mail service of your
service provider/telephone
company does. It is necessary to
check the number of rings required
to activate the voice mail service
provided by your service
provider/telephone company before
changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the
voice mail service so that the
answering system can answer the
call first. To do so, contact your
service provider/telephone
company.
